mitlist is a shared household organizer for people who live together, bringing shared lists, rotating chores, expenses and settlements, recipes, meal plans, a pinwall, and a calendar into one service. Household members can update shopping lists in real time, claim items, track prices, and sort a shopping trip around the store. Expenses can be divided equally, by shares, percentages, or exact amounts. Users can save recipes, plan a week, change servings, and add ingredients to a shopping list. During public beta, iOS and Android users can scan printed or handwritten grocery lists, with recognition and grocery matching running on the device. mitlist caches household information and queues many edits when a connection drops, though offline coverage is still being improved. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and can be self-hosted with PostgreSQL and an S3-compatible object store. The free plan includes all features for up to four household members. Premium costs €3.99 a month or €29.99 a year for one household of five or more members.
